Quotes 

• Arthur Harris : [Marion wants to go outside in her pyjamas to say hello to the choir who have come to sing outside her bedroom window]  You can't make a show of yourself like that.

  Marion : They're my friends. They don't care what I look like. Neither do I. I want to see them.

• [Standing at Marion's grave] 

  Arthur Harris : Potatoes. Two pints of milk. Teabags. Chicken. Sage and onions. Bottle of bleach. That's the shopping. That's what I'm doing today. OK.

• Elizabeth : Do you need any help with anything?

  Arthur Harris : Anything like what? I don't do anything. I used to get up for her.

• Arthur Harris : It was a miracle that Marion and I met at all. We were so different. She had such faith in life. She'd say: "There's somebody out there for *everybody*. Look at us."

• Elizabeth : Sometimes you find a flower you can help to bloom. Maybe you're one of those flowers.

  Arthur Harris : Yeah, poison ivy.

• Arthur Harris : You know how I feel about enjoying things.

• Arthur Harris : You lot are all lunatics. What will people think when they hear you singing this?

  Elizabeth : It's only a song, Arthur. It's about sex. Oh, dear. People do still have it, you know.

• Arthur Harris : Shouldn't you be talking to somebody your own age?

  Elizabeth : That's it, I dont... I don't have any friends my own age.

• Elizabeth : I was engaged for a couple of years to a fly boy, a pilot. Never commit yourself to a man in uniform, Arthur, especially if he's surrounded by lots of air hostesses.

  Arthur Harris : All men are shits, aren't they?

  Elizabeth : I look forward to meeting one who isn't. Present company excluded.

• James : What am I supposed to make of you? Every time I see you...

  [shrugs his shoulders] 

  James : I don't know what it is I've done or not done in my life to make you so disappointed. I mean, I've achieved so many things, so many good things, but you're always disappointed. Why can't you be proud?

  Arthur Harris : I am proud, son.

  James : Well, you never thought once to tell me.

  Arthur Harris : Well, I tell everybody.

  James : Why don't you tell me?

  Arthur Harris : I'm trying now.

• Elizabeth : Maybe we saved ourselves from getting laughed at by a theatre full of people.

  Arthur Harris : Somebody once told me it didn't matter if you got laughed at.

• Elizabeth : [Showing Arthur the leaflet for the upcoming choir competition]  We're in the programme now. There's no turning back.

  Arthur Harris : Yeah. If we jump ship, there'll be nobody to come last.
